I prefer to drink my beer, but if you want to clean your wheels with it, more power to ya. I'm sure there's a better option, though

I like the Cray wheels! My question is this: Do they come in stock C5 sizes (17 X 8.5, and 18 x 9.5)? And how do they compare in weight?

Bill's got balls....it takes a real man to drive around in a girly colored Corvette. (jk, Bill)

Thank you for your compliments, Ron, but I cant't claim any heroics....
I was a radio operator on Oahu (Wahiawa radio station), but most of
my time was spent playing volleyball at the Outrigger Canoe Club, and
